TROIS RIVIERES, QUEBEC. GP3R. GRAND PRIX TROIS RIVIERES.

Still in use currently, going to do a lap of what was in the seventy's the home of one of the greatest street races in the world.
 

Having had attended many through the 70's, possibly the most notable was Gilles Villeneuve's win in 1976. The events of that era included a number of guesting hot shoe Formula One drivers. The '76 race saw Villeneuve outpace the likes of James Hunt and more. It was Hunt's recommendation that McLaren should take note of this kid, thus launching Gille's F1 career.

Nice place for a group ride. Had to turn down thier gracious invitation.


With Formula Atlantic being a premiere series in North America at the time, it was pretty impressive to see some current and and soon to be notable names drift(trying to) thier way through the famous Duplessis Porte.
